Watch Dogs 2
Watch Dogs 2 may not have been scarce of exposure prior to its release, with it showing up at numerous industry events and receiving countless trailers, but it was still somewhat of a surprise hit having come off the back of its very underwhelming predecessor.
Yet, Watch Dogs 2 did just about everything it could to ensure that the wrongs of the first game were more than corrected in this one. Rather than the gloomy and never happy Aiden Pearce from the first game, Watch Dogs 2 introduced us to the eccentric and fun Marcus Holloway and the rest of the DedSec group as we hacked our way into ctOS 2.0.
Ubisoft also took considerable time crafting a virtual rendition of San Francisco and a more versatile hacking system that provided plenty more options for tackling a mission than the first game allowed for. In fact, San Francisco is so well done that it’s easy to simply just go exploring the world and see what there is to find and do.
If the first game had put you off picking up the sequel, cast your doubts aside and give Watch Dogs 2 a try. Sitting with a metascore of 83 at the time of writing, it’s one of the most enjoyable and off-the-wall titles to release this year.
